When they stopped publishing telephone directories in March this year, Geoff Capes could finally rest easy, knowing his life’s work was complete.
@aldroid unironically malicious, then?
@Wildheart_Baby nicely done - for next time, BrickOwl is your friend... also the Lego instructions archive with their carefully listed parts for a set on the last pages...
@BadgerandVole microwave links are pretty linear, which limits range unless you go high. if you have line-of-sight it should be possible, power required increases with range. specs I can find seem to show that being linked *to* an optional microwave link, presume for backhaul to provider.
would have been a pretty nifty and not too costly way to get cell coverage over a few miles of water I guess.

For #wholesomesunday a simple message. May those who read it may heed it.

Pay phones are disappearing to make it harder to escape the matrix
@BadgerandVole reads like a point-to-point line-of-sight link maybe, so see if there's a matching one there (or take a walk in the direction it points if there's cabling into it).
also, if cabling, prob avoid standing in front of it just in case it's still powered up. the word "microwave" is used in the powerpoint that pic comes from, so directional 2.4GHz cookery is an option :D

Don't be too hard on people who are still on ex-Twitter because they rely on it for work & are struggling to cope as it burns down; other platforms like this aren't yet filling the gap for many & we all interact with awful businesses/people every day

@b0rk sqlite is just such a good idea.
I've never really understood why _all_ databases don't come in a form that runs as a library. Any time you want a db that's only accessed by a single uid, it's a huge inconvenience to run a db server in a separate account and then manage a username and password for the app to log in to it.
If all dbs had this mode, I'd be able to choose 'server or library?' _and_ choose the db whose feature set was best suited to my application. I'd love a libpostgres!

I love blocking news sites on social media, it gives me so much pleasure. Nom nom nom nom.

Recently switched my primary #monospace #font for my IDE and terminal from SF Mono to Input Mono. Damn what a neat font this is! It has this slight edgy, sharp look. Love it! 🤩
